Free Webinar: How to Prove Your Renewable Energy Development Will Revitalize Local Communities

Developers of renewable energy projects can win local trust and support by highlighting the economic benefits of their projects. During this free webinar hosted by SER on April 4, 2024 at 11am central time, learn how you can prove these economic impacts and gain project approval. Dr. David Loomis, President of SER, has attended over eighty county and state-level permitting hearings and community meetings. Through his experience as an economics professor, Dr. Loomis has perfected the ability to communicate complex economic concepts to the general public and decisionmakers with no economics or renewable energy knowledge. In this webinar, participants can expect to:

  • Fine-tune your skill set by learning how to explain the economic impacts and property tax benefits of your project in a way that resonates with local stakeholders.

  • Learn from our experience in presenting and testifying at over eighty local and state level hearings/events. Discover the issues that are important to these communities and common questions and misconceptions that arise.

  • Understand how you may be selling your project short by only highlighting the "direct benefits." We'll show how to calculate the ripple effect of economic activity by highlighting the indirect and induced effects in addition to direct effects.

  • Learn how Strategic Economic Research can provide an economic impact analysis that highlights the jobs, earnings, output and property taxes for a particular project

Join us for an engaging session featuring Dr. David Loomis, as well as Vice President Bryan Loomis and Economic Analyst Chris Thankan.
